Holding power to account. Questioning the narrative. Speaking truth to British politics. #UKPolitics
Exactly — it’s almost comedic. They point to the chaos in the economy, regulation, or public services and act like these problems popped up spontaneously, conveniently ignoring the role Brexit played in creating many of them.

Ouch — that’s a brutal level of unawareness. Makes you wonder whether it’s genuine ignorance or just political dod

Absolutely — Brexit has had a direct impact on the UK financial sector. Losing seamless access to the EU market increased costs, regulatory complexity, and uncertainty, all of which contributed to a more fragile financial environment.

Wow, that’s quite a headline — sounds like a real clash in council politics. Completely understand why he was branded a “coward”; refusing a rival the chance to speak in a public forum comes off as avoiding accountability rather than leading.

Every advanced economy, even the supposedly laissez-faire ones like Singapore, operates within tight frameworks. Deregulation based on that flawed premise was bound to hit a wall.

Absolutely — it’s unfair to single out Reeves when the structural issues left by years of Tory mismanagement make tough fiscal choices inevitable.

Exactly — start with those who can actually afford it instead of squeezing ordinary people.

Exactly — another example of empty promises. Farage pledges cuts, but voters end up paying more. Classic bait-and-switch.

Yes, that’s a really interesting point — looking at blocs gives a clearer sense of where the electorate actually sits ideologically. Despite all the noise, the centre-left still represents the majority of public opinion in the UK right now.

Exactly — it’s not rocket science. The money exists, it’s just hoarded at the top. A modest wealth tax or closing loopholes for the ultra-rich could transform public services without touching ordinary people’s pockets.

Exactly — when ministers take money from private healthcare interests, it creates a massive conflict of interest. Properly funding and protecting the NHS becomes almost impossible.
November 1, 2025 at 4:25 PM
Absolutely! Farage pushing for an American-style system here would be disastrous. The NHS works because it’s universal and publicly funded — insurance-based schemes just leave people behind while lining private pockets.

😂 Exactly! Sometimes NHS 111 advice feels like it belongs in a sci‑fi episode — “Stay put” sounds way too much like something the TARDIS would say.
